True Crime Manga "Family Bones" Solicits in May

King Tractor Press solicits the first volume of the true crime comic book Family Bones in May, collecting issues 1 through 5 into a trade paperback. Family Bones is the story of the elderly serial killers, Ray and Faye Copeland.

Kansas City, MO, May 02, 2008 --(PR.com)-- In Diamond Distributors May Previews, the true crime graphic novel "Family Bones."

Retailers can order the book through Diamond Distributor May Preview catalog May084026 F Family Bones TP Vol 01 (MR).

Family Bones is the gruesome tale of Ray and Faye Copeland, told through the perspective of their visiting nephew. The writer Shawn Granger is the actual great nephew of Ray Copeland and deftly blends his own experiences with those that he gleaned from the rest of his family. Family Bones is a kind of Gothic coming-of-age. The fish-out-of-water city boy fights to survive a summer on the family farm with a pair of serial killers. What makes it even more chilling is the fact that Ray and Faye appear to be a kind warm apple pie grandparent-type, but each slice is full of gore.
